"It takes more skill to convince the powerful people in the military department, they all understand the advantages and disadvantages between the T90 tank and the T80 tank, and they know how to make trade-offs without us talking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info, but if we put one more card on the table, it's a completely different form. Armata is a different kind of hole card. When they compare the T80, T90 and Armata, they will naturally understand which one to choose. This is the technique of attacking the heart of the military department, and I believe that Akhromeyev will be very surprised and angry when he hears it. Blame us for hiding such a huge plan from them. Of course, this old man may still be happy in his heart. ”

Yanayev burst out laughing when he said this, and he could even imagine the military department's desire for Amata as it was when he saw the T55 in service. This is an epoch-making tank, which officially means that the Soviet Union will bid farewell to the third generation and take a big step in the direction of the fourth. And after Armata enters service, it will also put pressure on the American side.

The biggest reason for the Soviet Union's blockade of secret information was that he did not want to attract the attention of the United States and Europe, especially at this sensitive and critical moment, showing a temporary show of weakness to the M1 tank, which was used to numb the nerves of the American military. After a few years, the black science and technology achievements that broke out in one breath were enough to make countries all over the world stunned.

Who called them the Black Technology Empire?

What if the West thought that the Soviet Union had been gnawing at its old roots and could not even maintain the upgrading of its armaments?

That would be a big mistake.

Vladimir came to his senses, and everyone in the audience looked at him, wondering what the hell the new tank was.

Everyone in the audience was surprised by Vladimir's remarks, including the deputy defense minister, who finally understood why Yazov smiled meaningfully when he heard that he was going to this meeting, and it turned out that there was really a mystery hidden in it.

As soon as the slideshow turned, the original T90 image was erased and replaced with another one.

A picture shows on the wall, this is a tank, a tank that has never been seen before. It seems to have been born out of the shape of a Soviet tank, and although it still maintains a simple and rugged structure on the outside, it lacks a round turret and a low chassis, and instead has a wide and flat turret. The turret is equipped with two cannon-like ganons at each end.

"640 Black Hawk Engineering Development Project, Armata Tank. It is also a fourth-generation main battle tank newly created for the Soviet Army. Once the final tests were completed, priority would be given to the Soviet Army. ”

In Vladimir's eyes, Armata is a project that Yanayev has put in for so many years, but he will not be able to turn him into a first-class project.

This is a project that Yanayev has already decided, and he has been preparing for so many years in advance that he will not tolerate any failure.

Comrade Vladimir cleared his throat and began to slowly talk about the weapons that the Soviet troops were secretly researching.

"The Amata tracked armored platform combines all the major developments and innovations in the design and production of combat vehicles over the past decade, and the Amata main battle tank is even equipped with a remote-controlled unmanned turret, which can reduce the crew size and simplify operations. ”

The turret is armed with a brand new 125-mm 2A82-1M smoothbore gun. The shooting accuracy of the 2A82-1M smoothbore gun has increased by 120 percent, and the firing intensity has also increased by 1.7 times compared with the previous T80. There is also a plan that the Amata main battle tank will also be paired with a specially developed 152mm gun, which is the most powerful gun installed in the history of the main battle tank. ”

As soon as the words fell, the army department was already whispering. Mao Xiong vividly exerted the standard that his caliber is justice and artillery fire is truth. In particular, the main battle tank's most powerful gun fire is enough to kill all the crispy tanks on the battlefield in an instant.

The crowd on the stage didn't bother to raise their eyelids to look at the slides as before, but wondered when the new tank would be interviewed.

Excitement and excitement permeated the darkness.

"This is not one of those failed test models, but a solid 152 mm gun, if such a main battle tank is placed on the battlefield, there is no need to care about the tanks of other countries. They simply simply did not have the military power to withstand this level of firepower. ”

Baklanov excitedly said to Akhromeyev beside him, as if he saw a new future for the main battle tank.

Akhromeyev did not show the excitement of the other side, he carefully stared at the details of the Amata tank given by Comrade Vladimir, and he noticed that the turret of the tank was also equipped with a 30-mm sub-caliber gun to hit various targets, including low-flying targets such as attack aircraft and helicopters. There is also a 12.7mm heavy machine gun in the turret that is supposedly capable of striking incoming shells, such as anti-tank missiles in flight. ”

30 mm caliber guns, is this to replace the work of self-propelled guns?

Although the rate of fire of this 30 mm caliber is obviously much slower than that of the Tunguska or Shilka River, air defense is not his main task.

"One Armata main battle tank may not have much of an impact on air defense, but ten, twenty, thirty, or even a hundred, which creates a network of fire, and anyone who tries to attack the tank will be surrounded by them and then torn apart with 30mm anti-aircraft guns."

The personnel of the Ministry of Defense were amazed, and the private exchanges gushed.

New tanks, new artillery fire, it seems that they are ready to say goodbye to the past once and for all.

It turned out that General Secretary Yanayev refused to say a word, and waited until the end to surprise everyone.

"Are we going to change the caliber?"

Someone frowned and said that he couldn't believe that the final argument between the T80 and T90 was actually reversed, so that such a tank could end their argument.

Vladimir nodded with great certainty.

"Yes, you heard it right, this means that the 125-mm 2A46 series smoothbore gun, which had been used for half a century, was abandoned and replaced with a newly designed 125-mm 2A82 smoothbore gun. Say goodbye to a series of calibers from the past. Moreover, during the development process, the designers and production personnel used the latest technology as much as possible, and the 2A82 artillery system with a self-tightening and partially chrome-plated barrel could fire both all existing shells, as well as new types of shells under development. ”

The whole conference room became very quiet.

Some even believe that Vladimir is not telling the truth, and that the so-called Armata project has only one picture and data so far, and it is impossible for them to judge whether to buy them from the Ministry of Defense based on these things.

But then what the other party said dispelled all their doubts.

"If you don't believe me, the prototype has arrived in Moscow and will be open to everyone at the right time. We don't go unprepared. Of course, because of technological developments. The prototype has not yet reached the point where turret remote control technology is fully applicable. But we can guarantee that the standard has been met in other areas. ”

Due to the development of digitalization, some conditions are still limited to the level of the nineties. But Yanayev was not worried about this, because Armata was not a thing that could develop greatly in this era, and Yanayev gave the other party ten years.

It will not be until 2005 that the plan will be fully revealed, because it is a product of preparation for the next era. If there is still no great progress by that time, Yanayev will be more than happy to bring people from the experimental research and development department into the KGB to talk about life ideals.

Drawing everyone's attention away from Armata's body to reality, they can't wait to see the vehicle for what it really is.

"Oh, by the way, do you have any questions about the service of the T90?"

Comrade Vladimir asked the other side, "By the way, is there anything else you have to say about the service of the T90 in the Far East?" ”

The other implication of this sentence is that since they have made concessions on the Far East, then the army should also take a step back on the issue of the T90 service, and there is no need for either side to make the situation too stalemate.

"There will be a meeting of the Ministry of Defense on this point, but I don't think there should be any problems."

Everyone's attention was focused on the Armata plan, and the entry into service of the T90 was pushed to the Far Eastern Military District. Presumably, no one will stand up and openly oppose this issue. The T72 tanks over there have long been in need of a replacement.

Now they can't wait to see what Amata really is. (To be continued.) )
